CHARLES W. FRIEDMAN AND LOUIS A. FRIEDMAN, OF CANTON, OHIO.

CURTAIN-FIXTURE.

Application filed March 15, 1909.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, CHARLES IV. Finan- MAN and LOUIS' A. FRIEDMAN, bothcitizens of the United States, residing at Canton, in the county ofStark and State of Ohio, have jointly invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Curtain-Fixtures; and we do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing, making a part of thisspecification, and to the numerals of reference marked thereon, inwhich- Figure l is a perspective view showing portions of a shade rollerand curtain pole and illustrating one of the brackets placed in properposition. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectionv of the window frame and sashtaken on a line above the point at which the bracket is attached. Fig. 3is a View showing the spring end of the shade roller bearing and theshade roller. Fig. 4 is a view taken on line H, Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is aperspective view showing the upper end of the post and the curtain polesupporting wire connected thereto.

The present invention has relation to curtain fixtures and it consistsin the novel arrangement hereinafter described and particularly pointedout in the claims.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all thefigures of the drawing.

In the accompanying drawing, 1 represents an ordinary frame and 2 awindow sash. To the jamb of the window frame proper is attached theplate 3, which plate is provided with the slotted head 4, which slottedhead is provided with the integral upright post 5, which post isprovided with the hooked upper end designed to be clamped upon thecurtain pole holding` wire or arm 6. In the manufacture of our improvedcurtain fixture it is desirable to form the plate 3 together with theslotted head 4, and the post 5 of a single piece and preferably ofmalleable iron. It s also desirable to form the curtain pole holdingwire or arm 6 of common wire bent to hold in proper position the curtainpole.

In order to provide for attaching the wire 6 to the post 5 withoutlaying the wire in the mold the hooked upper end is provided, which canbe bent so as to bind the hooked or curved portion 7 snugly down andupon the wire 6. The slotted head l is for the purpose Specification ofLetters Patent.

l of receiving and holding' the bar 8 upon which bar is adjustablymounted the shade roller bearing 9, said shade roller bearing being heldin fixed adjustment by means of the suitable set screw lO, the bar S isheld by means of the set screw 11.

It will be understood thatv the opposite side of the window frame isl tobe provided with duplicate devices just above described, except that theshade roller bearing 12 should be provided with an angled aperture l?)designed to hold the angled bar 14, which angled bar is such as commonlyused in shade rollers of the spring type.

It is of'importance that during the time the shade is wound upon andunwound from the shade roller 15, and especially during the time theshade is wound upon the roller, that there be no binding of the shade asbetween the ends of the shade and the inner faces of the shade rollerbearings, and in order to prevent any binding, the inner faces of theshade roller bearings l0 and 12 are beveled as illustrated in Fig. il,which beveled faces permit a slight variance at the ends of the shadeand in a sense provide room for the shifting, caused by any unevenwinding of the shade upon its roller.

In attaching the bracket proper to the jambs of the window frames it isof importance that some adjustable means be provided for the curtainpole carrying arms or wires 6. In some instances it may be desirable tosetI the wire at an angle as illustrated in Fig. 2 and in order toprovide for this adw justment without any increased expense in themanufacture, the post- 5 together with the slotted head 4 and the plate3 are formed integral and of malleable iron, so that the post- 5 can betwisted axially to a limited extent sutliciently to jn'ovide thenecessary lateral adjustment for the curtain pole brackets (S. Thisfeature is of importance, owing to the fact that no parts are necessaryto be coupled in order to provide for the adjustment.

Having fully described our invention what we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In a. device of the character described, a plate provided with aslotted head and a post, a bar located through the slotted head, a shaderoller bearing adjustably attached to the bar carried by the slottedhead, said shade roller bearing provided with a beveled face and acurtain pole carrying arm secured holding` the har and the shade rollerhearing l to the post, Substantially aS and for the purl in fixedadjustment, Substantially as and for pose specified. the purposespecified.

2. In a device of the Character' described, l ln testimony that We claimthe above, We a plate provided with a Slotted head and a have hereuntosubscribed our names in the 1.5 post, the post formed of materialadapted presence of two Witnesses.
